I think the WWEs position on steroids and other PEDs is pretty much don't get caught and cause any controversy. I think Cena unlike Orton is smart enough not to fail any drug tests. Again you are talking about his physique and I think none of the guys in the WWE who get caught with steroids are doing them to improve their or maintain their physique. It is all about working a grueling schedule through a ton of minor injuries.

I also don't think wrestlers are held up to any higher of a standard now then they are in the past. If Cena gets caught with steroids it won't be even a fraction as big as it was in the 90s with Hogan. Baseball players are held up to a ridiculously high standard when it comes to PEDs and the truth is they still try to get away with doing them and they all lie about not doing them. Not because they are bad people just because they need them for performance and getting though and recovering from injuries.

I am actively hoping that Meltzer is wrong and that they just do Ryback and Cena again for MITB. Then Bryan can stay a face and win the Raw MITB (hmm is it still called the Raw MITB).

What probably will happen is that Ryback will win MITB. I think they want to put the title on him but don't want him to actually beat Cena just yet so maybe he would cash it on Cena after he beats Bryan at MITB or Summerslam.

I really don't know what they can do with ADR. Without Ricardo he would get no reaction whatsoever. Maybe they should have broken them up with Ricardo going face and ADR staying heel and maybe ADR could have drawn heat by beating the shit out of him.

Probably but at least he could still be able to walk.

It is probably true. But people assume just because Cena is a great guy and does a lot for charity that means that he can do no wrong.

WHC is basically meaningless now. That title is barely bigger then the IC and US titles nowadays. The WWE have devalued all their belts so much that it basically goes Cena > WWE Title >>>>>>> WHC Title > IC Title >>> US Title.

I think the IC title in the 80's and 90's was way more prestigious then what the WHC is now.

Jesus Christ, the reaction Bryan gets is ridiculous. And it is the whole audience, the kids, teenagers, women, men, smarks, marks, everyone loves him. I don't understand why they would turn him heel just to feed him to Cena.

Why? Pretty much every big wrestler in the past was on steroids. It isn't just about physique you know. The reason all these past wrestlers have been addicted to painkillers and steroids is simply because their bodies can't take the wear and tear of the ridiculous schedule the WWE runs. You think because they are tested now that they aren't taking them anymore? If you really believe that then you are just gullible.

Not that I advocate what the article above says. It is stupid. Guys probably are just taking stuff that isn't caught by the piss tests WWE use. I mean the last time Orton got caught it was because he originally tested positive for Marijuana which prompted them to do further testing, if he wasn't such a Pothead he would have never gotten caught.

OGN and MBC created Proleague when they merged their teamleagues. A few years later Kespa basically said they owned the rights to Proleague and their wasn't much either OGN or MBC could do since Kespa controlled all the teams and players. Kespa then sold or licensed the rights of Proleague to IEG.

What are you talking about. Blizzard agreed to this when the whole WCS was started. They said that Gom and OGN will keep their own branded GSL and OSL. They will also use whatever formats they were using.

Meh I doubt it. Maybe they will be more likely to play risky in a BO3 knowing they can lose a game. But in the end the first map is the only map they prepare for as the 2nd map is loser chooses and even if you win the 2nd map the other player gets to choose the 3rd.

It is from the broadcasts themselves. Every time a player wins the first game they show their winning percentage after they win game 1. All of the big names have very high winning percentages after winning game 1.

After checking Liquipedia around ~79% of all winners of the group stage game 1 win the set between the two players in a BO3. After looking there were a few times when the much less skilled player won game 1 and then proceeded to lose game 2 and 3 like Suhosin or Boxer. But most of the time it was between two players who were pretty much even in skill.

Jesus chill out. BO1 is no big deal. The player who wins the first game usually wins 80-90% of the time in the GSL anyway and that includes BO5 and BO7. I am sure the variation between BO1 and BO3 isn't that big. Also does that mean all those 2011 Code S tournaments that were won by Mvp, Nestea, and MMA were jokes too?

Also look at Proleague. Those are all BO1s and guess who are the best players. Innovation, Flash, Rain, SoS, RorO and Soulkey.

I rather BO3 just for more games to watch but people make too much out of a big deal about BO1 in my opinion.

What are you talking about. They always called it 2013 WCS Korea Season 1 MangoSix GSL. When the whole WCS thing was announced Blizzard said that both OGN and GOM were going to keep there branding and incorportating WCS Korea on top of it. Also I don't think they should drop the GSL, Code S or Code A names. Why should they drop the names that they spent almost 3 years building up, because Blizzard decided to take the format and rename everything. OGN should not drop the Starleague name either.

Meh Prime is the oldest team remaining so it shouldn't be surprising. I mean I don't even think you can count guys like Ryung, July(Fanta), GuineaPig(Eternal), Junwi or Min as Prime players as they were barely on the team and ended up joining other teams once those teams formed in early WoL. Then 10 more are just Open Season scrub players that were basically off the team by the time GSL Code S started.

Yeah ADR hit him with a car but he was out for like three or four weeks max. He didn't even sell the car injury, I remember him coming out running fast as hell to attack Ricardo the week he came back.

ADR hit Big Show with the car on the raw that Big Show and Kane lost their belts to the New Nexus. He was out a month and came back to feud with ADR and lost to him at Capitol Punishment after Mark Henry interfered and slammed him through the announce table. For the next few weeks Henry continually beat up on Kane or the Big Show on Raw and Smackdown. Big Show and ADR had a cage match on that Raw that Punk had the Pipe Bomb promo. Mark Henry interfered and broke the cage door and then used that to destroy Big Show and the cage. Henry and the Big Show faced off at MitB 2011 and Mark Henry beat him up and then "broke" Big Shows leg afterwards which knocked him out 3 or 4 months when he came back to feud with the then champ Mark Henry and later Daniel Bryan. Then on the Raw or Smackdown after MitB he "broke" Kanes leg knocking him out for 4 or 5 months.

Kane and Big Show were teaming up for the millionth time as a happy go lucky face big man tag team. Mark Henry was drafted to Smackdown and started up the whole "Hall of Pain" gimmick and got into a feud with the Big Show, eventually he would injure the Big Show at a PPV and then Kane the week after. Kane was out like 4 or 5 months and they started airing Vignettes for him. When he came back he had a different ring attire along with the new mask and hair (well he had another mask on top of this current mask). They turned him into a monster heel because Cena needed someone to feud with until Wrestlemania. So he spent the next few months beating up Zack Ryder every week and telling Cena that he must Embrace the Hate to beat the Rock. He faced Cena at Royal Rumble which I think was a No Contest and then Cena finally beat him at the Elimination Chamber in an Ambulance Match.

Yeah Shawn, Sean, and Shaun are just different anglicizations of the Irish name Seán but are all pronounced the same. Fun fact Shane also comes from Seán from the way the Northern Irish pronounce the name.

The people who they get to translate aren't professional translators though. Reis works for SK and is MCs manager and also helps to take care of any Koreans who go to European events so those events get him to translate plus I think his main language is German. Hwanni is EGs manager and also does work for MLG taking care of the Korean players so they get him to translate. John was never a translator, he worked for GOM and was one of the few people who spoke English well so they got him to translate when they use to have player interviews same with Snowbird when he use to work at GOM. Other translators like Smix or Milkis were people who posted on TL and helped translate Koreans articles for the community so they also just helped translate at MLGs and helped take care of the players where they could.
